Toilet structure
Abstract
A toilet seat contains: a toilet seat, a connecting assembly, a body, and a fixing plate. The toilet seat includes a support, a holder, and a cover; the support has an electronic controlling element, at least one inlet pipe, and an electric wire. The connecting assembly is connected with the support and includes an elongated affix piece, a retaining member, and a pressing member; the affix piece has two penetration portions and two recesses. The retaining member has two cutouts defined on two ends thereof to correspond to the two penetration portions and has two locking portions proximate to the two cutouts. The body includes two accommodating orifices and two connection orifices. The fixing plate is mounted on the two connection orifices and includes two opposite lockers extending outwardly therefrom and inserting through the two penetration portions and the two cutouts to retain with the two locking portions.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A toilet seat comprising:
a toilet seat including a support, a holder extending outwardly from the support, and a cover connected with a front side of the support and located above the holder; the support having an electronic controlling element, at least one inlet pipe arranged on a bottom end thereof, and an electric wire fixed on the bottom end thereof; a connecting assembly connected with the bottom end of the support of the toilet seat and including an elongated affix piece, a retaining member, and a pressing member; the affix piece having two penetration portions and two recesses, wherein the retaining member is formed in an elongated bar shape and horizontally slides in the two recesses, the retaining member has two cutouts defined on two ends thereof to correspond to the two penetration portions and has two locking portions arranged proximate to the two cutouts; the pressing member is mounted on one side of the affix piece and is coupled with one end of the retaining member, such that when the pressing member is pressed, it drives the retaining member to move horizontally, and when the pressing member is released, it drives the retaining member to move back to an original position; a body including two accommodating orifices defined on a peripheral side of a top surface thereof and including two connection orifices formed on the top surface thereof; wherein each accommodating orifice is employed to insert each of the at least one inlet pipe and the electric wire; a fixing plate mounted on the two connection orifices of the body and including two opposite lockers extending outwardly from two ends of one side thereof and inserting through the two penetration portions of the affix piece and the two cutouts of the retaining member to retain with the two locking portions, such that the connecting assembly and the toilet seat are in connection with the body.
2 . The toilet seat as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the two recesses are defined by two opposite guiding blocks, a bottom fence, and a peripheral fence.
3 . The toilet seat as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each locker has a hooking portion extending outwardly from an inner side thereof to retain with each locking portion.
4 . The toilet seat as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the hooking portion has a tilted guiding face defined on a top surface thereof, such that when the connecting assembly and the fixing plate are coupled together, the titled guiding face of the hooking portion of each locker pushes each cutout upwardly and pushes the retaining member inwardly, hence each locker moves across each cutout, and the pressing assembly flexibly presses the retaining member, thus retaining each locking portion of the retaining member with the hooking portion of each locker.
5 . The toilet seat as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the affix piece has a receiving notch defined on an inner peripheral side thereof, the affix piece also has a first through orifice formed on an inner wall of the receiving notch and has a second through orifice formed on an outer wall thereof; the pressing member has a press block and a resilient element for abutting against the press block, such that when the press block is not pressed, it extends out of the second through orifice of the affix piece so as to be pressed by a user; the press block has a protrusion extending outwardly from an inner side thereof; the resilient element is fixed between the press block and the receiving notch.
6 . The toilet seat as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the retaining member has a limiting projection arranged adjacent to the coupling segment, such that when the resilient element pushes the press block to move outwardly with the retaining member, the limiting projection contacts with the receiving notch of the affix piece to stop the press block outwardly removing from the affix piece, and the limiting projection and the resilient element limit a horizontal movement of the press block and the retaining member within a certain range, thus removing or fixing the pressing member from or on the retaining member.
7 . The toilet seat as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the resilient element is a compression spring.
8 . The toilet seat as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the protrusion engages with the coupling segment which is inserted into the receiving notch.
9 . The toilet seat as claimed in claim 1 further comprising two clampers, wherein each clamper is mounted on each of two ends of the fixing plate, and a fastening element is inserted through each clamper and the fixing plate to screw with each of the two connection orifices of the body, thus connecting the fixing plate with the body.
10 . The toilet seat as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the fastening element is a screw bolt.
11 . The toilet seat as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the fixing plate includes two sliding rails arranged on two ends thereof, such that the two clampers slide along the two sliding rails.
12 . The toilet seat as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the support of the toilet seat has a L-shaped insertion sheet; the fixing plate further includes a L-shaped slot formed thereon, such that the insertion sheet is obliquely inserted in the slot.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
